Last Wednesday 489 applicants to NYU's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service were informed via email that they were accepted. Unfortunately, those 489 applicants received a second, accurate, email an hour later informing them that in fact they had been rejected from the program and that the email was a clerical error.

This is similar to the incident at the University of California- San Diego earlier this month when 47,000 previously rejected students received emails invited them to admitted students day.

It appears even admissions offices have problems with the "Reply All" button.
